Thank you to the Eagles mystery source for giving Birds fans the information they want.

Now on to the news itself:

I have no idea who Ugo Amadi is. Looks like a free safety, where the Birds could use some help/depth. Google says he’s a 2019 fourth round pick out of Oregon who was on the verge of being cut. That latter part is according to reports out of Seattle. He’s appeared in 47 total games, logging 125 tackles, an interception, and a couple of forced fumbles. Looks like this trade was two guys about to be cut, and so Philly and Seattle just flipped players here to see if a change of scenery does anything for anybody.

Thank you to JJAW for his contributions.
